Good point, Mr. Smale

I keep a written record of all repairs in the case with the clarinet, but that would only insure full disclosure for the first sale. Didn't I read that CA (cyanoacrylic) shows up in UV light? , like new paint used to 'touch up' old master paintings. We might have to treat high-end vintage clarinets like paintings, eventually, although I've not seen any great prices being paid for vintage clarinets. One can hope though, hate to see all these fine old instruments going on the ashheap of history. One of my greatest joys is bringing back a neglected old horn to good playing condition, and making beautiful noise!. I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice that the fit-finish-playability-feel-etc. of a fine 100yr.old clarinet is something largely lost in the modern mass produced everything world.
